In modern assembly industries, precise counting and classification of small parts with diameters as tiny as 2-3mm present a significant challenge to traditional photoelectric sensors. The IMS DS Series counting sensor overcomes this limitation by generating a dense infrared light curtain, ensuring high detection accuracy for even the smallest objects passing through its beam.

With a rapid 1 millisecond response time, the sensor supports fast-moving production lines, enabling efficient real-time part counting without missing counts. For irregular-shaped or complex objects, the sensor allows fine-tuning through the adjustable off delay time, enhancing counting precision further.

The IMS DS Series is designed for versatility, suitable for detecting metal and non-metal materials alike. Its multi-channel structure facilitates large-scale counting tasks, meeting the needs of demanding industrial environments.

Additional features include:

• Fault self-test function for reliable and accurate operation

• Self-recovering short-circuit protection

• Power reverse connection protection

• Over-voltage protection

By integrating the IMS DS Series counting sensor, engineers and production managers can significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of their assembly line counting processes, reducing errors and downtime.
